Map Name: Mount Doom
Description: Two fire clans fight for the dominion of an epic volcano
Author: SirDodgy

The map looks a lot cooler at night, but it's not necessary.

Wanted to make a map with loads of 1.16 blocks in honour of the update :)

Map:
•Each team has a castle built inside a smaller volcano.
•The bridges to the bases have two floors, there's another floor under the bridge accessible from a tunnel in the volcano. (It's pretty obvious)
•The bridges are wide with lots of cover from the pillars of the bridge as well as a boulder in the middle.
•Normal kits aren't able to escape onto the volcanic terrain without assistance.
•Mid inside the volcano is a circular shape, with a platform in the middle of the lava, and two other routes around the side. The side routes contain the tunnel to the lower floor of the bridge.
•The platform in the middle of the volcano is open overhead to allow crates to be spawned.
•The map is pretty self-explanatory really, have a look at it :)

As always, feedback is appreciated.

Hey SirDodgy! This is a really cool looking map but gameplay-wise we have some concerns, so we’ll be rejecting this map for now.

The approach to the base, both above and below routes, is extremely narrow and straight. Archers and explosives would certainly dominate here. The base itself is also very open and empty, we’d like to see something else done with it.

In mid, the abundance of walls blocking sight lines makes it feel cramped and less clear which way to go. Instead of one central area, it felt like three small passages. I tested out removing some of the walls and it felt a lot better, I’d like to see what you could do with that idea.

A quick aesthetic suggestion as well: try out the crimson forest biome. The floating red particles go nicely with the existing theme! Hopefully you can take this feedback and make some interesting updates to the map :)
